ShadowsocksR-native

Intro

ShadowsocksR-native is a lightweight secured SOCKS5 proxy for embedded devices and low-end boxes. It's derived from Shadowsocks-libev.

It is a port of ShadowsocksR created by @breakwa11, which is maintained by @ssrlive.

Current version: 0.4 | Changelog

Features

ShadowsocksR-native is written in pure C and only depends on libuv , OpenSSL , libsodium and json-c.

In normal usage, the memory footprint is about 600KB and the CPU utilization is no more than 5% on a low-end router (Buffalo WHR-G300N V2 with a 400MHz MIPS CPU, 32MB memory and 4MB flash).

For a full list of feature comparison between different versions of shadowsocks, refer to the Wiki page.

Pre-build configure guide

For a complete list of avaliable configure-time option, try configure --help.

Using one crypto library only

There are one crypto libraries available:

OpenSSL (default)

Using shared library from system

Please specify --enable-system-shared-lib. This will replace the bundled libev, libsodium and libudns with the corresponding libraries installed in the system during compilation and linking.

Debian & Ubuntu

Install from repository

Note: The repositories doesn't always contain the latest version. Please build from source if you want the latest version (see below)

Shadowsocks-libev is available in the official repository for Debian 9("Stretch"), unstable, Ubuntu 16.10 and later derivatives:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install shadowsocks-libev

For Debian Jessie users, please install it from jessie-backports:

sudo sh -c 'printf "deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian jessie-backports main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/jessie-backports.list'
sudo apt update
sudo apt -t jessie-backports install shadowsocks-libev

Build deb package from source

Supported Platforms:

Debian 7 (see below), 8, 9, unstable
Ubuntu 14.04 (see below), Ubuntu 14.10, 15.04, 15.10 or higher

Note for Ubuntu 14.04 users: Packages built on Ubuntu 14.04 may be used in later Ubuntu versions. However, packages built on Debian 7/8/9 or Ubuntu 14.10+ cannot be installed on Ubuntu 14.04.

Note for Debian 7.x users: To build packages on Debian 7 (Wheezy), you need to enable debian-backports to install systemd-compatibility packages like dh-systemd or init-system-helpers. Please follow the instructions on Debian Backports.

This also means that you can only install those built packages on systems that have init-system-helpers installed.

Otherwise, try to build and install directly from source. See the Linux section below.

cd shadowsocks-libev
sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends build-essential autoconf libtool libssl-dev \
    gawk debhelper dh-systemd init-system-helpers pkg-config asciidoc xmlto apg libpcre3-dev
dpkg-buildpackage -b -us -uc -i
cd ..
sudo dpkg -i shadowsocks-libev*.deb

Configure and start the service

# Edit the configuration file
sudo vim /etc/shadowsocks-libev/config.json

# Edit the default configuration for debian
sudo vim /etc/default/shadowsocks-libev

# Start the service
sudo /etc/init.d/shadowsocks-libev start    # for sysvinit, or
sudo systemctl start shadowsocks-libev      # for systemd

Fedora & RHEL

Supported distributions include

Fedora 22, 23, 24
RHEL 6, 7 and derivatives (including CentOS, Scientific Linux)

Linux

For Unix-like systems, especially Debian-based systems, e.g. Ubuntu, Debian or Linux Mint, you can build the binary like this:

# Debian / Ubuntu
sudo su                       # using root account
apt-get install --no-install-recommends build-essential autoconf libtool asciidoc xmlto -y
apt-get install git gcc g++ cmake automake -y
apt-get -f install
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade

cd /                          # switch to root directory
git clone https://github.com/ShadowsocksR-Live/shadowsocksr-native.git
mv shadowsocksr-native ssr-n  # rename shadowsocksr-native to ssr-n
cd ssr-n                      # enter ssr-n directory. 
git submodule update --init
git submodule foreach -q 'git checkout $(git config -f $toplevel/.gitmodules submodule.$name.branch || echo master)'

# build ShadowsocksR-native
cmake CMakeLists.txt && make

# CentOS / Fedora / RHEL
sudo su

curl -L https://github.com/ShadowsocksR-Live/shadowsocksr-native/releases/download/0.3/ssr-native-linux-x64.tar.gz | tar zx
chmod +x ./ssr-client

mkdir /etc/ssr-native
cp ./config.json /etc/ssr-native/
chmod 777 /etc/ssr-native/config.json
vi /etc/ssr-native/config.json

./ssr-client

#yum install gcc autoconf libtool automake make asciidoc xmlto
#./configure && make
#make install

FreeBSD

su
cd /usr/ports/net/shadowsocks-libev
make install

Edit your config.json file. By default, it's located in /usr/local/etc/shadowsocks-libev.

To enable shadowsocks-libev, add the following rc variable to your /etc/rc.conf file:

shadowsocks_libev_enable="YES"

Start the Shadowsocks server:

service shadowsocks_libev start

OpenWRT

The OpenWRT project is maintained here: openwrt-shadowsocks.

OS X

For OS X, use Homebrew to install or build.

Install Homebrew:

ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

Install shadowsocks-libev:

brew install shadowsocks-libev

Windows

For Windows, chekout the project using the following commands then open win32/ssr-native.sln with Visual Studio 2015. Enjoy it!

git clone https://github.com/ShadowsocksR-Live/shadowsocksr-native.git 
git submodule update --init

Another way, use either MinGW (msys) or Cygwin to build. At the moment, only ssr-client is supported to build against MinGW (msys).

If you are using MinGW (msys), please download OpenSSL source tarball to the home directory of msys, and build it like this (may take a few minutes):

tar zxf openssl-1.0.1e.tar.gz
cd openssl-1.0.1e
./config --prefix="$HOME/prebuilt" --openssldir="$HOME/prebuilt/openssl"
make && make install

Then, build the binary using the commands below, and all .exe files will be built at $HOME/ss/bin:

./configure --prefix="$HOME/ss" --with-openssl="$HOME/prebuilt"
make && make install

Sample configure file

config.json

{
    "server": "123.45.67.89",
    "server_port": 443,
    "method": "aes-128-ctr",
    "password": "password",
    "protocol": "auth_aes128_md5",
    "protocol_param": "",
    "obfs": "tls1.2_ticket_auth",
    "obfs_param": "",
    "local_address": "0.0.0.0",
    "local_port": 1080,
    "udp": true,
    "timeout": 300
}

Advanced usage

The latest shadowsocks-libev has provided a redir mode. You can configure your Linux-based box or router to proxy all TCP traffic transparently.

# Create new chain

root@Wrt:~# iptables -t mangle -N SHADOWSOCKS

# Ignore your shadowsocks server's addresses
# It's very IMPORTANT, just be careful.
root@Wrt:~# iptables -t nat -A SHADOWSOCKS -d 123.123.123.123 -j RETURN

# Ignore LANs and any other addresses you'd like to bypass the proxy
# See Wikipedia and RFC5735 for full list of reserved networks.

Shadowsocks over KCP

It's quite easy to use shadowsocks and KCP together with kcptun.

The goal of shadowsocks over KCP is to provide a fully configurable, UDP based protocol to improve poor connections, e.g. a high packet loss 3G network.

Setup your server

server_linux_amd64 -l :21 -t 127.0.0.1:443 --crypt none --mtu 1200 --nocomp --mode normal --dscp 46 &
ss-server -s 0.0.0.0 -p 443 -k passwd -m chacha20 -u

Setup your client

client_linux_amd64 -l 127.0.0.1:1090 -r <server_ip>:21 --crypt none --mtu 1200 --nocomp --mode normal --dscp 46 &
ss-local -s 127.0.0.1 -p 1090 -k passwd -m chacha20 -l 1080 -b 0.0.0.0 &
ss-local -s <server_ip> -p 443 -k passwd -m chacha20 -l 1080 -U -b 0.0.0.0

Security Tips

Although shadowsocks-libev can handle thousands of concurrent connections nicely, we still recommend setting up your server's firewall rules to limit connections from each user:

# Up to 32 connections are enough for normal usage
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --syn --dport ${SHADOWSOCKS_PORT} -m connlimit --connlimit-above 32 -j REJECT --reject-with tcp-reset
